How retractable security grilles work, and what to ask for

Fitted inside the glazing, they usually avoid the planning issues of external shutters, though listed buildings may still need consent. The open lattice lets light in and keeps displays visible, which suits shops and offices. Removable bar grilles can be lifted out during the day for windows that do not need daily operation.

Retractable grilles fold to the side of the opening, so there is no box above the window or door. Locks are built into the grille, often with a key on one side and a thumb turn on the other where escape matters.

What's included

  • Top and bottom tracks for rigidity
  • Integral locks, keyed or thumb turn
  • Internal or external fitting
  • Removable bar grilles for windows
  • No shutter box needed

Covering Cambridgeshire

We cover Cambridgeshire from Peterborough to Cambridge, Wisbech and St Neots, with 7 towns listed below. Planning decisions for external shutters sit with your local council in England, and we check the position at survey.

Rules in England

Planning permission for shopfront shutters

In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Questions about retractable security grilles in Cambridgeshire

Do retractable grilles need planning permission?

Grilles fitted inside the glazing usually do not need planning permission, though listed buildings may need consent. External grilles are treated like other external security and often need permission.

Do grilles get in the way during the day?

Retractable grilles fold neatly to the side of the opening. Removable grilles can be lifted out and stored.

Are grilles as secure as shutters?

A good grille with top and bottom tracks is a strong deterrent and hard to defeat quickly. For tested security, rated grilles are available.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
